Just curious to see how many of the lady LSers out there are dating someone younger than them!

Me: 32

Him: 28

Me:34

Him:24

 

Me:36

Him:27

 

Not dating anyone now. Just went out w/a 33 year old casually. I look REALLY young, most think I'm in college.

Awesome! (And grats, SarahRose!)

 

And I don't want to hear ANYONE complaining about older men dating younger women. At 41, I much prefer someone in their mid 20s to mid 30s vs someone my age -- mainly because I do NOT look or act my age :)

She's 21, I'm 19. I keep teasing her about how she's in her third decade of life already while I'm still enjoying my teens. I expect to get kicked in the testicles any day now!

 

Maturity-wise though... let's just say we're both about equally low!

Interesting because reading your posts I guessed you were early 40s

I've yet to have an older woman, I went on a date with a girl who is a year older, but that's nothing.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing a woman who is in her late twenties.

Every guy I've had a relationship with has been younger. :eek:

 

Me: 19

Him: 18

 

Me: 23

Him: 19

 

Me: 24

Him: 23.5

 

Me: 26

Him: 21

 

It's not something I seek out, or particularly want, but it always seems to happen because all the people I'm around are a bit younger. I would like to date someone my age, or even a year or two older. I'm not sold on dating a guy in his thirties, though. I guess I just don't find them attractive, but I'm open to it in theory.

Well on the forums I try to be intelligent when answering questions but deep down, I still act much younger than my age.

I've never really dated a guy younger than I. My last boyfriend was 5 months younger -- not much -- and all the others were older.

 

I've basically ruled out younger men for anything serious. But maybe I should reconsider.

 

There's this sexy 25-year-old acquaintance who keeps trying to get me to go out with him, but I've ruled him out mostly because of age. Perhaps I should give him a shot.

 

I'm curious to know if any of these relationships have been lasting. Any of these longer than 3 years?

Mine isn't, but I personally know two women who are married to younger men and now have children with them. I believe one is seven years older, and the other five years.

My husband just turned 28, and I am 38. Been together four and a half years.

I always end up dating younger guys too for some reason. Me 26, him 23 :)

Another reason I avoid it is that I am very maternal, loving, and nurturing, so I seem to attract men looking for mothering. Boyfriends have always told me it's almost fun for them to get sick, since I always make them homemade chicken soup, get them a cold washcloth for their face, and baby them. I can't help it. I have a strong urge to be compassionate, and I want them to feel better. :)

 

I imagine being with a younger man would only heighten this dynamic.

 

But y'all are certainly making me giving it some second thoughts.

 

I have a late-30s friend who dates a lot of 20-something and early-30s men. She looks and acts like she's in her 20s, but she has the wisdom and stability that comes with maturity. I have suggested to her she might be wasting her time with the younger men. Maybe I should stop that.

How much younger are you talking and how old are you? My mother and step-father are happily married, and he's 6 years younger.

 

He was in his mid-twenties when they met. Certainly, he didn't need my mother to baby him or treat him like a child. . . actually, in some ways, he's always been quite traditionally nurturing himself. My father re-married to a slightly (4 years) younger woman and the dynamic there was more what you described (she took care of him), but I don't think that dynamic has much to do with age in general.

DAMN!

 

A lot of surprises in this thread.

 

I think the women being around five years older is no big deal at all. But over 10 years older just makes me cringe. Even if its the other way around its still weird.

 

Me: 38

THEM: 21, 23, 24

Woah, did you actually have a relationship with them or you only hit it and quit it?
